OPENING AUTHORITY (ΚΑΙΝΟΥΡΓΙΑ ΑΡΧΗ)

The digital age that should mark people’s improved and more comfortable lives has shifted a balance of modern human beings. Any real feeling and experience is now considered obsolete and anything we are new to try, banal. Social networks determine our relationships, which either do not expand or do not evolve to a large extent in their absence. At the same time, society suffers from difficult economic problems. Corrupt governments of states could only bring the situation to the end of the barley. A barbour that can only be crossed with real values. But also. Ethical principles are missing from governments, civil servants, education, young people from all over the world. Every act is considered normal as long as it satisfies our egoism. And if this egoism leads to at least one subtle spiritual investigation or an attempt to rehabilitate the labour market, we are lucky. Because most of them imitate the prominence and dreams. Most try to win the beauty when it should not have a place in their lives. What beauty do we talk to? Each defines it differently. The issue is that what is now considered to be a “coul” is often the one that destroys the whole. But everything is good! The cigarettes in each recess are scattered, such as margarites on a mountain pasture, and the graffiti are fired in the urban galleries, making a spectacle... What beautiful our cities are! Car smoke does not disturb us. Forgotten bins do not tempt us. It is enough that our cities are not flooded by climate change. It is enough that COP27 did not discuss us at all, but about something bitter African farmers who cannot feed their children.

If at least half of these problems could be solved by 2040, I would be happy. But we will find the values to bridge the gap between modern realities and real life?

Silencio
I would like all means of transport to be electric and quiet. That 49 cubic centimeter motorcycles be replaced by electric scooters, scooters by electric motorcycles, cars and vans by electric vehicles, trucks and planes will run on hydrogen. Electricity production would be made with solar panels or wind turbines, backed by large storage systems to be able to have electricity at night or without wind. In addition, hydroelectric plants would not be necessary either, so only reservoirs would be used for human consumption or for irrigation. Water would be shared between all regions and infrastructure and the quality of water coming out of taps would be modernised. The rivers would be clean, as the industry would recycle or clean up all their waste.

Utopía de miércoles.
It's 2040 and we're still on the planet... a complicated thing to this day. We have learned to respect nature, animals are cared for and respected. Almost extinct species have been recovered and we keep biologically fragile places very protected. We are in 2040 and finally women and men are equal in rights, duties and at the social and labor level. There are several presidents of governments around the world. It's 2040 and LGBTBIQ+ people are living freedom all over the world. They are equal in rights and duties to others. It is 2040 and despite globalization, we have understood that life in the countryside is wealth and we have returned to the peoples. We telework, we grow our garden, children play in nature. It is 2040 and the sea has regenerated thanks to an unpolluted care of the discharges and the waste that reaches it.

Biopaliva namiesto elektrifikacie vozidiel
In 2040, I would like technology and ecology to evolve in a direction that takes into account the real needs and possibilities of today's society. Many countries are focusing today on the electrification of transport, but I am concerned that a complete switch to electric vehicles could be unsustainable and inefficient, especially in terms of battery production and its environmental impacts. My vision for a better future lies in promoting the development of biofuels and combustion engine technology, which would still be used, but with environmentally friendly fuels that do not endanger the environment. In this future, the motor fleet would be efficient, sustainable, while maintaining flexibility and accessibility for the general public. Biofuels to replace fossil fuels would allow existing vehicles to continue operating with significantly lower environmental impact, reducing the need for drastic changes in infrastructure and energy sources.

l'Europe de demain
By 2040, Europe will have returned to its traditions. It will have consolidated its Christian origins in all that they have of positive. It will have resisted totalitarianisms and fundamentalisms, wherever they come from. To protect and maintain itself, it will have assimilated, developed education for all and preserved secularism for the respect of the greatest number, without any religion imposing itself or tyrannizing others. It will have rebuilt its industry, modernized its infrastructure and created a common and strong defence, thanks to the protection against all external aggressions. It will have given everyone access to the great culture, arts and literature. It will have supported the entire food industry and protected its farmers. She will be proud of what she is and will not let herself be invaded by other cultures. It will respect all the nations that compose it, for what they are and in their respective origins.
